"self-hate" or "comparing mind" or "māna"

[kanzeon_2040]

I haven't read one of Cheri Huber's books in over a decade, but I read a lot of them between 2002 and 2008. She's one of my favorite Zen authors.

The book of hers I was most likely to recommend to others was "There Is Nothing Wrong with You: Going Beyond Self-Hate". I'm re-reading it now, I'm about halfway through

"māna"... I wonder if that could have to do with the word "mana" that magic abilities in (J)RPGs are named after?
'Cause I know that the word itself is taken from existing Japanese language, it's not an invention specifically made for that. It spells itself like this: まな (Hiragana) or マナ (Katakana).
